Windows Needed

[rangerscott275]

Does anyone know where I can get new high quality replacement windows for a 1970 53' classic MY? I would like to get windows with today's quality / technology to replace my originals (including sliding type stock windows in galley & main salon). I also want to replace all the smaller screw-type porthole windows throughout w/ new moden high quality ones. Any help / ideas or comments on whether anyone has done this and found it to be really worth it (or not!) appreciated!! Thanks!

best,
Scott

I like the "old" Fuller Brush portlights. They look nice, work great, and they still make them. I can see changing the aluminum frame windows, especially if they are pitted or leaking, but the portholes I would keep. Just one opinion, mind you.

Try Wynne Enterprises, Tuscambia Ala. Look at their website. I replaced my sliding windows with their product and am very pleased. I do agree about keeping the portholes though.I don't think you can do better than the Fuller product.

Thank you both for your responses...I like the Wynne products...thanks for the link. With regards to the smaller port windows, I guess if you both suggest it, I will keep them. They do work fine, I guess b/c I am redoing so much of the boat, I would do them as well. Also, I wanted to dress up boat a bit with maybe some stainless or chrome on exterior. Do you know if such a part is available for the stock porthole windows....also, do you know of a good place to get new seals? Thanks again in advance!!
best,
Scott

Scott, If you would like the origional replacement windows for your boat, I can help you in that area. I build replacement windows specifically for Hatteras boats. I have been working with Steve at SAM's and with the people at Hatteras for many years now. My windows are made from the origional style extrusion designed by Hatteras. If you would possible like to discuss anything relating to your windows. please give me a call at 252-634-2214 or email at jwatts14@cox.net or if you would like, you can call Steve at SAM's for a reference.
